Today we went to Burritos Crisostomo on N.Mesa mainly because it was a participating member of the VIP card (a fund raiser card that gives an average of 10% off) group of restaurants. Upon first impression you might think you are walking into a giant auto repair garage but when you walk inside, it seems more like the inside of a Subway restaurant. The menus are giant and explain exactly what everything is, which is great because the items are all named in Spanish.
We ordered a Lengua (cow tongue) burrito, 2 Winnie burritos (hot dog in tomato sauce), Chile Relleno burrito, a quesadilla and 2 drinks. The deal with the VIP card was a free horchata. Despite a mix up and a gag reflex from getting 3 horchatas (I can't stand horchata), the food came out within 2 minutes.
The burritos were amazing. I have never been to Juarezwhere this restaurant transplanted to El Paso from) but I could imagine myself crossing the border, going down a few blocks and ordering this from a street vendor. I ate my 3 burritos and was quite pleasantly full. The only thing I wished was that the cups came in a bigger size so I wouldn't have to get up to ask for more every few sips. The price was perfect at around $20. All in all, a very great experience today at Crisostomo.
Atmosphere got an 8/10 from me.
Food got an 8/10.
Service got an 8/10.
Price got a 9/10.
Overall, I give Burritos Crisostomo an 8.5/10 stars.
I DEFINITELY recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious burrito if you are on the west sode of town. Just make sure you specify that you want a diet coke when ordering.
